Well maybe an overnight spot between 11PM and 4AM can be swung at smaller stations. I guess someone put KLOS's ad price on their credit card or something . . . But, yeah South, you and I do think alike more often than not.
No the last minute is NOT the time to be doing this, since mail-in ballots were due today! There's a reason political campaigns start over a year before the election. Same with major motion pictures, but I digress. . . .
I am a professional publicist and marketer and have been doing this shit longer than half these posters have been alive -- the MONTHS leading up to the election, event, etc are crucial. And truth be told, all that past campaigning by the No on B forces was fuckin' wasted on stupid arguments that just made all of us in this industry look like inbred yokels.
I've been putting out better arguments against Measure B for months now, as has Porn Law and many others. Waiting until the final five days before an election to start seriously raising money, and to launch a media No on B campaign? Seriously? Porn Law and I don't get paid the big bucks Diane Duke and the others are paid by Manwin over at the No on B Org, and we have been working for a hell of a lot longer against the measure than the fat cats. ROFL
PS: Thank you Kylie Ireland for doing the radio spots. I haven't heard them yet, but if anyone can make an argument sound convincing, yet sexy, it's likely you. ;)
